Chapter 2605: Bloodshade City Lord, Manuel Willow!
"Rules?"
Upon hearing Makai Holland’s almost accusatory words, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze immediately landed on him, and he looked deeply at him, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Commander-in-Chief... The rules are set by people, aren’t they?"
"You are the commander of the Black Dragon Army... Whether I violated the Black Dragon Army’s rules today is but a matter of your word."
As Wyatt Barnes spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Centurion Wyatt Barnes... What are your intentions in coming to our Black Dragon Army?"
Makai Holland asked solemnly.
Having witnessed Wyatt Barnes’s actions firsthand, he could also see:
Wyatt Barnes’s strength not only matches his own but might even surpass it!
Could such a presence willingly come to their Black Dragon Army and accept a position merely as a ’centurion’ under him?
Of course, even if Wyatt Barnes truly is stronger than him, he does not fear losing his position as commander of the Black Dragon Army.
Because, to become the commander of the Black Dragon Army, it’s not as simple as becoming a centurion, a hundred-man leader, or a ten-man leader within the Black Dragon Army.
For the latter, according to the Black Dragon Army’s rules, as long as one has the strength, they can be promoted.
However, the commander of the Black Dragon Army is appointed directly by the City Lord of Bloodshade City. Unless the City Lord of Bloodshade City personally approves and orders, it’s impossible to replace him as the new commander of the Black Dragon Army.
"Finding a place to cultivate."
Wyatt Barnes opened his narrowed eyes and stated truthfully.
Throughout, Makai Holland stared intently at Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, as if trying to discern something from them...
But he was destined to be disappointed.
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze remained calm, like an ancient well, showing no trace of abnormal emotion.
"Our Black Dragon Army seems to have nothing worthy of his desires..."
After pondering for a while, Makai Holland couldn’t figure out what Wyatt Barnes might be scheming about the Black Dragon Army, and eventually chose not to think further. After giving Wyatt Barnes another glance, he turned around and left God of War Valley.
Makai Holland’s departure clearly expressed his attitude regarding Wyatt Barnes’s killing of Hector Simplicity today:
He did not pursue it!
The Blackarmor Army soldiers within God of War Valley were not surprised by this outcome.
Although their Blackarmor Army’s commander had never fought with Wyatt Barnes, the centurion.
Yet, considering the strength Wyatt Barnes just demonstrated, even compared to their commander, he likely wasn’t inferior, perhaps even superior...
In short, even if their commander wanted to hold Wyatt Barnes accountable, he might not be able to do anything to Wyatt Barnes.
Unless he brought this matter to the City Lord of Bloodshade City.
However, once this matter reaches the City Lord of Bloodshade City, given the City Lord’s eagerness to seek talent, as long as Wyatt Barnes hasn’t done anything to damage Bloodshade City’s interests, he wouldn’t possibly hold Wyatt Barnes accountable.
In the eyes of the City Lord of Bloodshade City:
In terms of value, Hector Simplicity, who was killed by Wyatt Barnes, couldn’t possibly compare to Wyatt Barnes!
Therefore, even if the matter reached the City Lord, it would ultimately be dismissed.
They were already mentally prepared for all this, so they weren’t surprised.
Meanwhile, as Makai Holland, commander of the Black Dragon Army, had just left, everyone’s gaze in God of War Valley once again fell upon Wyatt Barnes.
"Centurion Wyatt Barnes, I didn’t expect you to be so adept at hiding your strength... That Hector Simplicity was truly blind calling you a ’Purple Moon Celestial’!"
"Exactly! Exactly! That Hector Simplicity deserved to die! Dying at the hands of a centurion like you, Wyatt Barnes, was his fortune across three lifetimes!"
The centurions ’Daxton Cruz’ and ’Omari Moran’ immediately flew forward, arriving in front of Wyatt Barnes, appearing very enthusiastic.
Seeing Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran’s current attitude, Wyatt Barnes inwardly sneered.
These two, back when Hector Simplicity called him merely a ’Purple Moon Celestial’, had changed their faces faster than flipping a book, almost openly expressing disdain to associate or converse with him...
So now, facing their enthusiasm, Wyatt Barnes directly ignored it.
Regardless of the awkwardness Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran felt, Wyatt Barnes flew directly to the other two centurions, ’Eastern Dunn’ and ’Ares Cooper’, and greeted them, "Centurion Eastern Dunn, Centurion Ares Cooper... I’m in a rush to cultivate, so I’ll be taking my leave!"
"Centurion Wyatt Barnes, take care."
Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper responded quickly.
If previously they regarded Wyatt Barnes as just another ordinary centurion,
At this moment, they dared not treat Wyatt Barnes as a mere ordinary centurion.
After the recent battle, they could also see:
This centurion Wyatt Barnes’s strength, possibly matched that of their commander-in-chief in the Black Dragon Army.
After greeting Eastern Dunn and Ares Cooper, Wyatt Barnes looked back at a group of Black Dragon Army soldiers under him, and as they watched him with extremely eager eyes, he nodded at them, then gracefully left God of War Valley.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Wyatt Barnes walked away, Daxton Cruz and Omari Moran followed.
After all, their current situation was very awkward.
They proactively greeted Wyatt Barnes, even going so far as to put on a sycophantic pose...
But Wyatt Barnes simply ignored them!
Regarding this, although they felt aggrieved, they dared not show it.
Judging by the strength Wyatt Barnes just displayed, Wyatt was not someone they could provoke!
After Ares Cooper and Eastern Dunn, the two Centurions also left one after another, the Black Dragon Army soldiers in the Valley of God of War suddenly became like wild horses off the reins...
"I never thought... I never thought our Black Dragon Army’s new Centurion Wyatt Barnes is so powerful. His strength is probably not inferior to the Commander-in-Chief."
A Centurion was the first to express his amazement.
And his words soon received the recognition of many:
"Indeed."
"I wonder why, with Centurion Wyatt Barnes’ strength, he chose to come to our Black Dragon Army?"
"Didn’t you hear him say... he came to find a place for cultivation? In the areas surrounding Bloodshade City, the best cultivation environment, other than the City Lord’s secluded chamber, is the camp location of our Black Dragon Army and Centurion, as well as the camp location of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s Commander and Centurion."
"Mentioning the Army of Silver Sea Dragon... I’m curious about what expression they’ll have when they find out that our Black Dragon Army has a Centurion whose strength is not weaker than our Commander-in-Chief."
"It’ll definitely be very entertaining!"
...
In the Valley of God of War, once the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army got riled up, it was uncontrollable, and no one left for a long time.
Their discussion entirely revolved around the newly arrived Centurion of the Black Dragon Army.
At this moment, the Black Dragon Army’s Commander Makai Holland, who had previously left the Valley of God of War and thus the Black Dragon Army’s camp, entered Bloodshade City and headed straight to the City Lord’s mansion.
He went directly to find the City Lord of Bloodshade City.
The City Lord of Bloodshade City, named Manuel Willow, was a tall, outwardly imposing middle-aged man.
When Makai Holland arrived, he was cultivating but not in closed seclusion.
Upon learning that Makai Holland had come, he immediately stopped cultivating to meet Makai Holland.
"Holland, you’re in such a hurry to find me... is there something urgent?"
In the main hall of the City Lord’s mansion, Manuel Willow sat in the principal seat, looked at Makai Holland sitting in the lower seat, and asked with a smile.
Makai Holland was one of his two great generals, managing the Black Dragon Army for him, always meticulous, never faltering.
Therefore, he was very fond of this subordinate.
With years of interaction, he had long ceased treating Makai Holland as an outsider.
"My Lord City Lord."
Makai Holland straightforwardly said: "I previously issued a statement: anyone who finds the identity token of our fallen Black Dragon Army’s Centurion can become the new Centurion of our Black Dragon Army?"
"I heard about that."
Manuel Willow nodded and then asked in surprise: "Why? Someone found it? I heard... your Centurion was suspected to have mistakenly entered the small world within the mountains south of Bloodshade City and fell there."
"Why? He didn’t mistakenly enter that small world?"
As he asked, Manuel Willow became increasingly curious.
"He died inside that small world... and then someone brought out his identity token from there."
Makai Holland said.
"What?!"
Almost in the instant Makai Holland finished speaking, Manuel Willow was already frightened into standing up abruptly, staring at Makai Holland intently, "Holland... you... you’re sure?"
"Yes."
Makai Holland nodded, then repeated the words Wyatt Barnes had told him earlier, explaining to Manuel Willow.
"I later went south myself... and found that the ’entrance’ to that small world has indeed disappeared."
Makai Holland continued.
"That small world... turned out to be left behind by an ’Immortal King’ of the Joyous Zen Sect?"
Manuel Willow’s pupils shrank, murmuring: "No wonder for so many years, even many strong practitioners from upper Immortal Kingdoms have come but failed to unlock the ’secrets’ of that small world... it turns out, it was a small world left by an Immortal King."
"Joyous Zen Sect... that’s a sect power far stronger than the upper Immortal Kingdoms!"
Murmuring to the latter, Manuel Willow’s eyes showed a hint of reverence.
A reverence for the ’Joyous Zen Sect.’
To him, upper Immortal Kingdoms were already entities he looked up to...
Not to mention the Joyous Zen Sect, which was even stronger than the upper Immortal Kingdoms.
"However... hearing what you said, your Black Dragon Army’s new Centurion’s luck wasn’t bad; he actually survived and came out of that small world."
Manuel Willow said.
"My Lord City Lord, I came here today for him... today, I saw him make a move. His strength is not inferior to mine!"
At this time, Makai Holland also explained his intention for coming.
